Hu? Those vulnerabilities are authentication bypass and local privilege escalation; sandboxing like pledge is not going to help you at all there.

To me, and I suspect to many other people outside of Silicon Valley, this just sounds like "those 3 people you should know about just started a company". Fine. But in this case there is absolutely nothing: no product picture or de

Qt is a bit more than just a GUI library. It's pretty much an entire application framework, and probably the most popular one for C++.

It's a drop-in replacement for neither since it's an entirely different language. C++ went to some great pain to be a drop-in replacement for C; you can "drop in" a C++ compiler in your toolchain and still compile your C

I would have understood "Patterson and Hennessy Have Started a Computer Company". But are we really supposed to know every former Sun employee?

Regarding the last point: some OpenBSD developers are currently writing their own front end ("got") using the same on-disk structure as git. http://gameoftrees.org/goals.html

Right. You should only invade far away countries in the middle east. International law used to be European law, now it's American law. And perhaps it will be Chinese law, in 50 years.

That's a good point. I think Facebook made a mistake by doing this. They should only vet ads for legality in the target jurisdiction (to some extent, false advertising is a crime, so they might need some minimum fact checking there). G

Voters decide what is good or bad political speech (at least in democracies). It's already bad enough with concentrated corporate media and giant web corporations, we don't need to have another unelected group of "fact checke

I'm not saying they have to do anything. I'm just wondering why people on this thread are pretending it's anything except a code dump. Look at the Github mirror I've given above. All the commit messages are like this:

I did not say it was not open source. I said it's just a code dump, and so far you have not really proved me wrong. There is not even a proper repository with version history, as far as I can tell. Just this stuff: https://g

Neither the US nor China is fascist. Fascism means something quite specific, and quite context-sensitive. It has unsurprisingly become a bad word after fascists lost WW2, but it still means something beyond "dictatorial power, forcible

Darwin is not a thing. It's just Apple dumping the code to satisfy the licensing requirements.

Did those studies gave the big picture about privacy? Why is it that people working in the field tend to be paranoid about privacy, and people outside are not? It can't be that we are just on average more paranoid. It's more likel

The rest of the world is doing the exact same thing. Sovereign nations should control their own technical infrastructure and not rely on American, Chinese, Russian or European technology. Open source is certainly a big step in the right dir
